Holdfast Bay, SA initiates suburban food waste collection trial to lessen landfill contributions
Holdfast Bay, SA Suburban Food Waste Collection Trial
Complete
The council selected 1,000 households across four suburbs to participate in the year-long trial. Each household receives a weekly collection of their food and organic waste bin. Council officials switched applicable households to biweekly general waste collections during the pilot. Holdfast Bay supplied participation bin stickers, compostable bags, and program guides at the outset. The collected waste is converted into fertilizer for local farms rather than added to the landfill.
Project Succeeded
Holdfast Bay was a finalist in the Excellence in Environmental Leadership and Sustainability category at the 2022 LG Professionals SA Annual Leadership Excellence Awards.
